Ms. Mang Thi Huong - Head of the Women's Union of Suoi Coc village shared: "The village has 95% of the population being Raglai people. To help Raglai women have a correct awareness of the role and position of women in the family and society, the union regularly integrates propaganda content on gender equality through conferences, village meetings, sometimes right at households' homes. Thanks to the propaganda, women have gained more knowledge and understanding of gender equality; know how to share, understand, respect and discuss together to decide on big and small matters in the house, especially knowing how to develop the economy independently".

Along with communication work, the Commune Women's Union has proactively advised the local Party Committee and authorities to effectively implement Project 8 "Implementing gender equality and solving urgent problems for women and children". The Union has actively coordinated to implement the project's core contents and targets, preferential credit policies combined with vocational skills training, helping women have the opportunity to access capital and necessary knowledge to master farming and livestock models. Thereby, not only helping ethnic minority women to be financially independent, increase family income but also contribute to the overall development of the community. Ms. Mang Thi Thom - a member of the Commune Women's Union said: "Thanks to participating in training courses, propaganda, and mobilizing to change "thinking and ways of doing", I boldly borrowed capital to invest in planting 5 sao of mango trees and taking advantage of raising chickens under the mango canopy to increase economic efficiency. Up to now, my family has had a stable income".
